Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy hints that will get your Sant'Ilario d'Enza escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
